With this story of like learning how to think critically, to be curious, to embrace failure.
Thinking like an engineer, even if you're not an engineer, right?
Like that is my North Star.
So the way I do that is hiding the vegetables.
So I might have a video that's like a 15 ton jello pool, which is very hard to do, by the way.
That's right.
Yes, that weighs 15 tons.
Which no one has literally ever in the history of the internet actually pulled that off.
Like we were the first because we had to go to like, you know, because Jell-O, you have to boil it and you have to cool it down.
So I went to the perfect spot in the United States where overnight it would get to refrigerator temperatures.
We boiled it in like six huge containers.
you know, 55 gallon drums.
It took a full week.
I lost 10 pounds because I was so stressed out, but we pulled it off and you could see someone belly flopping in a pool of jello.
That's a very clickbait title and thumbnail.
Okay.
But once you click on the video, Mel, this is where I get you.

You're learning about the scientific method.
You're learning about like the variables we controlled, right?
